Abstract
One important aspect of social development is the establishment of standards that serve to promote economic
justice. That economic justice is critical to social development is a central theme of Morvaridi (2008). Economic
justice is essential to economic growth and development; and Jacobs et. al. (1999) see economic development as
essential for overall social development. The issue of economic justice brings in the role of property rights and
the protection of property rights are seen as essential for the establishment of economic justice, at least within the
neo-classical tradition. Recently several writers have questioned the legitimacy of antitrust legislation, especially
those provisions that restrict mergers. These authors see such restrictions as a needless infringement on property
rights and therefore contrary to economic justice. This paper argues that limitations on property rights could be
justified in the face of market failures and therefore such restrictions enhance economic justice and social
development.
